Bee pollen: Its antioxidant activity
(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2021-04-05) Tutun, Hidayet; Kaya, Muhammet Mükerrem; Usluer, Melike Sultan; Kahraman, Hatice Ahu
Bee pollen is a honey bee product containing over 250 biologically active substances such as phenolic bases, amino acids, carbohydrates, lipids, enzymes and coenzymes, vitamins and bio-elements. The composition of bee pollen may vary due to plant sources and its botanical and geographical origin. Bee pollen has been used since ancient times in traditional medicine for its therapeutic effects such as wound healing and hepatoprotective. Bee pollen has been reported to possess antioxidant and radical scavenging activities usually attributed to the presence of phenolic acids and flavonoids which are plant-derived polyphenolic substances. The antioxidant capacity of bee pollen depends on the content of total polyphenolic substances. This review presents an overview of chemical composition and antioxidant activity of bee pollen.
Effect of miticides amitraz and fluvalinate on reproduction and productivity of honey bee apis mellifera
(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2021-03-30) Ilyasov, Rustem A.; Lim, Sooho; Lee, Myeong Lyeol; Kwon, Hyung Wook; Nikolenko, Alexey G.
Varroa destructor is a well-known ectoparasite of the honey bee Apis mellifera. Amitraz and fluvalinate are highly effective miticides used against V. destructor infestation in colonies of honey bee A. mellifera. Though honey bees more resistant to miticides, there are side effects of these chemicals on the reproduction, olfaction, and honey production of honey bees. We showed a negative impact of miticides amitraz and fluvalinate on honey production and reproduction of honey bee colonies. Also, we assumed the reduction of olfaction of honey bees by fluvalinate due to changes of expression of olfactory related neuropeptide genes short neuropeptide F sNPF, tachykinin TK, short neuropeptide F receptor sNPFR. The external treatment of honey bee colonies by miticides amitraz and fluvalinate along with a positive effect of pest control harms reproductivity, honey productivity, and, probably, can reduce learning and memory, gustation and olfaction of honey bees. When used for a short time and with care, miticides can be less harmful to honey bees. Breeding varroa-resistant honey bees allow to reduce the use of miticides and produce organic honey. Therefore, the further development of beekeeping should be in the direction of selection for disease and Varroa resistance and adaptation to the environment.
Efficacy of essential oils of thymbra capitata l. and mentha pulegium l. collected in tunisia on larvae of Galleria mellonella L.

The wax moth is one of the honeybee pests that cause a lot of damage and loss for the beekeepers in Tunisia. The use of insecticides is more and more used although they are known to contaminate wax and honey. This study aims to test the essential oils of two North African common plants Thymbra capitata L. and Mentha pulegium L. efficacy as alternative method by fumigation on instars of Galleria mellonela L. We also determined the duration of the development stages of the great wax moth (GWM) presented in Tunisia. Results showed that under a temperature ranged between 30 and 33°C, the total duration from eggs to adults of GWM lasted 51 days. The fumigant test showed the toxicity of both oils on larvae instars tested. The second larvae instar was more susceptible than the 4th instar. Moreover, M. pulegium was more toxic against the 2nd larvae instar than T. capitata with an LC50 at 48h of 41.82 and 456.27 µl/L air, respectively. The essential oils present a good alternative to the insecticides to control wax moths.

Beekeeping, performed in many parts of the world, has a very large place in the world trade market with bee products such as wax, bee venom, propolis and royal jelly, especially honey production. However, honey bee diseases are quite common and restricted the production of bee products. One of the most important of these diseases, Nosema, is caused by spores in intestinal epithelium cells of the honeybee. Nosema apis and Nosema ceranae are the factors of this disease and also common in our country. These two species can be distinguished from each other by molecular diagnostic methods. In this study, materials collected from 152 apiaries located in 13 districts of Muğla province and 62 water sources close to these apiaries. The spores were counted using Thoma lame under light microscope. DNA isolation was carried out from spore positive samples. 218MITOC FOR-REV and 321APIS FOR-REV primers were used to figure out the N. apis and N. ceranae species. After DNA sequence analysis of the obtained amplifications, it was determined that all samples formed 3 haplotypes according to studied sequences for the first time. In Muğla region, the presence of only N. ceranae as a disease agent was determined and the prevalence of the disease was detected at a rate of 71.53±6.02%. Moreover, blast analysis showed that the N. ceranae sequence detected high similarity (94-100 %) with the previously reported in Lebanon, France, Morocco and Thailand samples.
The most important medicinal plants affecting bee stings: A systematic review study
(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2021-03-17) Manouchehri, Aliasghar; Shakib, Pegah; Biglaryan, Fakher; Nazer, Mohammadreza; Darvishi, Mohammad
Bee stings are one of the most common insect bites. In some insects, including bees, the sting, along with the venom gland, is separates from the bees' body after the bite and remains at the site of the bite. Bee stings are associated with symptoms such as redness of the skin, itching, allergic reactions causing infection, headache, dizziness, nausea, chest pain, suffocation, breathing difficulty, and paralysis of the bite area. This review study was conducted to identify Iranian medicinal plants for the treatment of bee stings. It was used to review articles in Iranian ethnobotanical sources and articles. Keywords such as bee sting, bee sting, medicinal plants, ethnobotany, identification of medicinal plants and Iran were used. Databases such as ISI Web of Science, PubMed, Scopus, ISC, ISID, Magiran and Google Scholar were used to review articles and resources. Medicinal plants such as Aloe vera, Calendula officinalis, Ruta graveolens L., Allium sativum, Heliotropium ramosissimum, Allium cepa L., Taraxacum officinale L., Rosa canina L., Petroselinum crispum, Verbascum songaricum Schrenk., Vitex pseudonegundo, Ment eriophora DC., Peganum harmala L, Citrullus colocynthis, Ocimum basilicum, Curcuma longa were among the most important medicinal plants used in Iranian ethnobotanical sources to treat bee stings. The most common plant families used for bee stings include Asteraceae and Lamiaceae. Also, the most plant organs used in bee stings included leaves (37%), shoots (20%) and flowers (14%). This study lists a number of plants that have been introduced in different parts of Iran as a treatment and antidote against bee stings and bee stings. This study introduces a number of herbs that are used in different parts of Iran as a treatment against bee stings. We believe that the plants can be used as herbal remedies and antidotes against bee stings. Lack of natural, useful and effective drugs for the treatment of bites leads to the expansion of research on effective and natural drugs for patients with bites.
The role of honey in pediatric treatments in Sri Lankan siddha medicine
(Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2021-02-05) Rajamanoharan, Pholtan Rajeev Sebastian; Sathasivampillai, Saravanan Vivekanandarajah
Honey is used as food and for the treatment of indigenous medicines worldwide, also in Sri Lanka for a long time. Siddha Medicine is one of the four indigenous medicines currently practiced in Sri Lanka and is generally practiced in the Eastern and Northern Provinces of Sri Lanka. This study aims to explore and highlight the use of honey in pediatric treatments in Sri Lankan Siddha Medicine. Preparations used to treat pediatric disorders were obtained from standard Sri Lankan textbooks used in Siddha Medicine degree programs at universities in Sri Lanka [Pararasaseharam (Part Two) and Seharasasehara Treatment]. A total of 30 preparations were identified using honey as an ingredient or adjuvant. Honey is generally used to treat indigestion and disorders associated with the digestive system. This is the first study on the role of honey in pediatric treatments in Sri Lankan Siddha Medicine. This work identified, analyzed, and documented the use of honey in pediatric treatments in Sri Lankan Siddha Medicine.
